Addison’s extensive and popular account of travel through Italy, which was standard reading for the 18th century Englishman Grand Tourist. It includes his poem “Letter from Italy,” as well as numerous extracts from Roman literature. Addison, who was obviously fond of Italy, begins his Preface “There is certainly no place in the World where a man may travel with greater pleasure and advantage than in Italy.” Four contemporary annotations in the margins, pointing out errors by Addison.
